Abstract
Experimental data on the correlation of identical bosons are reviewed and the interpretation discussed. A revived interest in the study of the Bose-Einstein effect has evolved after new significant data from collisions at high energy. There is evidence that it looks the same in general events of all kinds of reactions and that the main variable in describing the effect is the absolute value of the four-momentum transfer Q. There is a dependence on multiplicity density at high energy, and furthermore there is an indication of a special reaction mechanism for selected events of very high multiplicity density. New experiments planned are dedicated to studies of the different aspects of this interference effect.
